Where Pro-Life Democrats Speak

Abortion Excluded From Health Care Coverage

Unhappy “Pro-choicer”: “Last March, in a last-minute compromise to gain votes from anti-choice Democrats, Obama signed an executive order that reiterated the limitations on abortion coverage in insurance exchanges and applied funding restrictions to community health centers. This executive order, however, was mainly seen as “preserving the status quo,” and not going further than what was already in the current law. This new restriction thus actually amplifies the effect of the original health care bill. The administration ended the debate when they announced that elective abortions cannot be offered to people under PCIPs.”

The Whole Life Democrat: A Project of Democrats For Life of America

In Honor of Governor Robert Casey and Sargent & Eunice Shriver

In 1992, Robert Casey and Sargent and Eunice Shriver took out a full page ad in the New York Times outlining A New American Compact: Caring about Women, Caring for the Unborn. It spoke to the heart of the consistent life ethic and whole life principles we share as Pro-Life Democrats. The writers on this blog, a project of Democrats for Life of America, look to promote the best of the Democratic tradition, which is articulated so eloquently in this compact, for the respect and dignity for the whole person.
